Indian film and television productions are increasingly hiring intimacy coordinators to oversee on‑screen intimate scenes, ensuring actors’ safety and consent.
Indian film and television sets are now adopting the role of intimacy coordinators to manage sensitive on‑screen scenes. The coordinators design choreography, discuss boundaries with actors, and monitor the set to prevent discomfort or misconduct. This practice has gained traction after several high‑profile incidents highlighted the need for professional oversight. The Indian Express reports that Bollywood and regional industries are increasingly incorporating these specialists to safeguard performers and maintain ethical standards. The move reflects a broader shift towards safer working environments in the entertainment sector.
